Chapter 112

Eight p.m., Staples Center.

After the national anthem was played, the game between the Clippers and the Grizzlies was about to start, and the players of the two teams prepared separately.

On the large screen in the center of the court, the interview Su Yang received during the warm-up is being played, and the sound can be heard by the audience.

He talked about how Griffin described the contrast between the two as "Jordan and Olajuwon". He said that it was a clever metaphor. If he can achieve the results of the two legendary players, he must be blessed by God.

Hearing such an answer, the fans cheered and applauded, shouting his name in unison.

Su Yang waved his hands, walked over to the Grizzlies, and interacted with Griffin by high-five. The audience immediately cheered.

Then he shook hands with Conley, Gay, and Gaso, only Mayo, who was punching black, completely ignored it.

On the sidelines of the TNT commentary, Reggie Miller and his partner Thomas also discussed excitedly.

"I think everyone misunderstood Griffin's remarks. He didn't call himself Olajuwon, he thought he was Jordan, because in the 84 draft, Jordan also competed with Olajuwon for the first pick. can succeed."

"Su Yang is the player who scored high points in his rookie season, and he is closer to Jordan's trajectory..."

"It's all speculation anyway, let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two teams..."

...

On the field, the referee holds the ball and walks to the middle circle.

In terms of lineup, point guard Su Yang vs. Conley, shooting guard Davis vs. Mayo, small forward Eric Gordon vs. Rudy Gay, power forward Randolph vs. Griffin, center Jr. Jordan vs. Gasol, Coach Van Gundy vs. Hollins.

As the referee tossed the ball lightly, Jordan and Gasol took off at the same time, and the basketball was forced to fly towards the Grizzlies half court.

Conley received the ball and moved forward, the live announcer immediately guided, and the audience chanted defense throughout the whole process.

Gay and Griffin got together and stood at the top of the arc in advance. Seeing Conley dribbled the ball to the left 45-degree three-point line, the two simply made a cross screen. Griffin cut straight down and rushed to the right waist, covering Yi Ze strode to Conley.

The 45-degree cover was formed, but Conley did not rush to break through and remained where he was.

Su Yang was a little puzzled, and suddenly heard Little Qiaodan shout: "They have covered..."

Hearing this, he took a step forward, but was still delayed by Gasol's wall.

Conley took the opportunity to rush to the top of the arc, facing Jordan's interference, raised his hand and threw the ball to the right wing.

Mayo received the ball, raised his hands high and passed it to the right waist, and went straight to the paint to take away the auxiliary defense.

Griffin received the ball and turned to the outside, with his right foot as the pivot, raised his left foot and stepped forward to test, as if he was about to go up the line and break through, tricking Randolph into habitually stepping sideways, and immediately retracted his left foot to join the ball and take off , Throwing the mid-range shot skillfully.

bass!The basketball is hollow into the net.

"Griffin has indeed made great improvements in shooting after hard training in the summer, but just now if Randolph stood still and waited, he could also use the previous violent style of play and go directly to the basket for dunks, which is difficult to prevent. !"

"I've heard that he does physical training with active SEALs, which is rare for a rookie..."

Offensive and defensive transition, Su Yang dribbled the ball to the left wing.

He hit the ground pass to Randolph at the elbow, accelerated to the short corner, and set up a wall to act as a wall.

Davis started running from the bottom corner, used his cover to rush to the right elbow, then suddenly turned around and ran back into the paint area, circled to the left waist and used Jordan's cover to go out, stumbled all the way to the top of the arc, but failed to get rid of May. Olympic interference.

Su Yang saw it, and was a little surprised by Mayo's diligent defense. He then retreated back to the right wing, raised his hand to receive Griffin's pass, bowed and accelerated to the 45-degree position, ready to fight Davis. Hands to cover cooperation.

The two met each other, Su Yang successfully got rid of the interference, and Davis returned to the right corner with the help of Randolph.

The Grizzlies' defensive attention focused on Su Yang, but he chose to pass the ball to Davis, who cut inside again. Griffin, who was in charge of switching defenses, suffered a disadvantage in rhythm and could not catch up. He could only watch Davis easily hit the board basket score.

There was applause in the arena, and Su Yang turned back to defend, thinking: This shit is really not as good as singles.

Mayo did a very good job of clinging. If Davis hadn't been witty and cooperated with him tacitly, the long-distance running just now would have been WeChat steps, which would not have any lethal effect and would also waste offensive time.

The Grizzlies attacked, Conley dribbled the ball to the left wing, bowed and patted on the spot and waited.

Guy walked slowly to the middle circle, while Griffin went up the wall to block Su Yang.

Conley sped up and moved to the right, while Gasol lifted up to block Gordon at the same time, then raised his hand to receive the pass from Conley, turned around and went straight to the right elbow, where there happened to be Guy rushing past with his cover, and Larger point guard.

Gay received the ball steadily, took advantage of the situation and pulled out his hands for two points, completely ignoring Davis's flying dive to defend.

The basketball went into the net hollow, 2 to 4.

"Wow, Marc Gasol's passing, while not as good as his brother Pau Gasol's, is good enough to be a consistent starting point, maybe that's the talent of the European big men, almost everyone can do that. "

"Gay's long two-pointers are impressive. This is his fourth year as a rookie. His long-range two-point shooting rate is as high as 40.5%, and his mid-range two-point shooting rate is as high as 45.5%. It can be used as a regular tactic. predict."

The Clippers attacked, and Su Yang dribbled the ball to the 45-degree three-point line on the left, changing hands and shaking on the spot.

He was about to play singles, but Randolph ran up to cover the wall and simply shifted to the right.

The Grizzlies defensive center shifted to the right, and Guy on the periphery also shrank towards the paint. Seeing this, Su Yang decisively passed a long horizontal pass. The basketball flew over the top of the arc and reached the 45-degree three-point line on the left. Gordon caught the ball and faced Guy. Yi returned to the defense and made a strong shot.

The basketball bounced off the hoop.

Jordan failed to grab the rebound, Conley succeeded, and the Grizzlies launched a quick counterattack.

Conley rushed all the way to the left wing of the frontcourt, then moved across to the right wing, and then passed the ball to Gasol who followed up at the end. Just when the Clippers were observing the Grizzlies' position and trying to guess what offensive tactics would be, Gasol broke through violently.

Little Jordan didn't expect it at all. It was too late to make up the defense, and it was too late for others to stand in advance.

I saw Gasol hit the basket with the ball, deliberately avoided interference, and gently wiped the board to score.

Jordan catches the basketball and retreats out of bounds. Su Yang catches the ball and crosses the center line. Then he uses Randolph to cover on the left wing. Stop and turn around to find someone.

Jordan just arrived at the top of the arc, stopped to catch the ball and held it high, while Su Yang took the opportunity to slip to the basket and waved for a pass back.

Amidst the cheers, the basketball flew straight to the basket, Su Yang caught the ball and took off on the spot, dunking against Gasol with both hands to score.

The two played in an unconventional high and low position. The referee whistled to indicate that it was valid and gave an additional penalty.

Grizzlies coach Hollins stood up and expressed his confusion to the referee. Su Yang went to the free throw line and saw that scene. It felt like buying a second-hand safe and finding that there was gold in it, which could cause Gasol to make a foul and make a lot of money. .

MVP shouts sounded in the arena, he made an extra free throw and the score became 5-6.

The Grizzlies attacked, and Conley dribbled the ball to the left wing, shaking continuously to avoid Su Yang's interference.

Griffin ran to the wall to cover, then turned and rushed to the corner, staged a fake block.

Su Yang ignored it, teamed up with Randolph to double-team, and almost forcibly broke the basketball.

But Conley resisted the pressure and moved to the top of the arc, raising his hand and passing the ball to Gasol at the top of the free throw coil.

Jordan resolutely rushed to defend, and Davis also followed the pre-match strategy to shrink to the paint area.

But Gasol turned around and passed the ball towards the baseline as if he had an all-knowing perspective. Mayo just accelerated and ran to the basket. .

The basketball rebounded into the net, 8 to 5.

"The Clippers seem to be deliberately besieging the middle lane, trying to target the Grizzlies, but the effect is a bit poor."

"There is no problem with the strategy. The main reason is that Gasol passes the ball well, and other players move well without the ball..."
